3rd trimester :)

Well, I am officially in the 3rd trimester and as of Monday (the 4th) I am exactly 3 months away from Blythe's expected arrival. That's not only exciting, but a little intimidating. It makes me realize I still have a lot to get accomplished. The main thing I'm focusing on right now is baby bedding. Maybe I'm just too picky, but I am really struggling to find the baby bedding I want. I have a fear that I will eventually just say forget it and buy whatever and then be unhappy with it. So let's all hope that doesn't happen :)

I feel pretty huge right now and am actually scared to go back to the doctor on Tuesday and them to tell me how much weight I've gained. I was doing a pretty good job of keeping it to about 1 pound a week, but I'm pretty sure that has now officially ended.

I also discovered my first stretch mark over this past weekend and of course I cried. Jared came home from work and I showed him and his response was "I don't see any stretch marks". I then re pointed it out and he responded again with "yeah, still don't see anything. Besides you shouldn't worry about something as minor as that, we are having a baby and you still look beautiful!" And whenever I say how big I am he says "you're pregnant, you are supposed to be bigger. That means you are growing a healthy baby". Those are the reasons I love him. I know he saw the stretch mark (even though it's not in an obvious place and it's not big and purple or anything, but he still lied and managed to make me feel better.

How far along? 27 Weeks and 2 days

Size of Baby: According to What to Expect.com, a head of cauliflower - 16 inches and 2.5 pounds

Total Weight Gain/Loss: I'll find out Tuesday

 

Maternity clothes? of course
 

Stretch marks? one :(

Gender: girl

Belly Button In/Out: still in but very shallow lol!

Wedding rings on or off? On 

Sleep: here lately I haven't gotten a lot of it, but when I do it's been good!

Movement: A TON!!! it's an all day event, but I love it and at times it makes me laugh

Food cravings: Doritos Locos Taco Supremes however I've only caved and gotten them like twice (or maybe three times)

Best Moment This Week: this week hasn't been too eventful and I haven't really seen Jared so I can't think of the best moment I've had

Miss Anything? not being so busy. thankfully after this month my schedule will go back to normal :) 

What I am looking forward to: the lake, although I'm absolutely dreading putting on a swimsuit. I bought a tankini but am having second thoughts and it so maybe I need to go and buy an actual maternity one piece?

Have you started to show yet? Yes and I feel huge!!!  it's like it showed up over night ha!

PS- I'll probably post another picture when I get to 30 weeks :)
